• Wang Yinhang realized that Jiang Xiyue’s interest in Wang Youdao had ended his own hopes, while Divine Emperor Cangping blamed Wang Shouzhe for the Wang Clan’s show of strength.

Wang Youdao defeated Wang Guiling with his original Gentle Sword intent, but Wang Jinyu then overwhelmed him with her Geng Metal sword and left him surrounded by admiring young ladies. God Emperor Cangping grumbled about the Wang Clan until Fairy Liquque’s Truth Interview crew put a microphone in front of him.

• Wang Youdao borrowed Jiang Xiyue’s immortal sword Falling Snow and challenged Wang Guiling, then defeated her by using his soft sword intent to wear away her Heavenly River Upside Down.
• Wang Youdao named his original sword intent Gentle Sword, drawing admiration from the female spectators and disdainful muttering from Wang Yinhang and God Emperor Cangping.
• Wang Jinyu borrowed Taishi Jinglan’s dao sword, challenged Wang Youdao, and defeated him after four increasingly powerful Geng Metal strikes.
• A crowd of young ladies rushed to comfort Wang Youdao, and Jiang Xiyue openly praised him while Wang Yinhang realized his defeat had made him more popular.
• Fairy Liquque’s Truth Interview crew approached the cursing God Emperor Cangping and asked him to share his dissatisfaction with Wang Youdao.

Wang Yinhang discovered that the Shenwu Wang Clan was kin to his Tianwei Wang Clan branch and was welcomed by Wang Fugui and the clan juniors in Luojing.

Months later, after the Shenwu Wang Clan’s fame rose in Luojing, Fugui used a court dispute over the Jiang Clan’s redeemed treasures to unveil a plan to raise seven thousand Chaos Spirit Stones, leaving Holy Emperor Cangping suspecting the Wang Clan had orchestrated its growing reputation to support the financing.

• Wang Fugui and Wang Fuheng visited Wang Chenfeng, apologized over Jiang Xiyue, and presented gifts worth far more than the gifts they had received.
• Wang Chenfeng accepted Fugui’s help after Wang Yinhang offered to return his own gifts, and he reassured Yinhang about his romantic disappointment.

Wang Fugui pitched the Wang Clan’s communications project to the Eastern Dawn Divine Dynasty’s powerful figures and raised 7,000 Chaos Spirit Stones through loans and share subscriptions. Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe reached the critical moment of breaking through from Void Ascension to True Immortality while cultivating aboard the Primordial Dao Vessel.

• Wang Fugui demonstrated the communication wristwatches and explained that building the network’s infrastructure would require 7,000 Chaos Spirit Stones but could generate substantial revenue and taxes.
• Divine Emperor Cangping approved the project after Wang Fugui explained its financial benefits, and Wang Fugui assured local rulers that the communications branches would also bring them tax income.
• Wang Fugui offered loans and company shares, and the Jade River Sacred Dynasty, the Ying Clan, the Xuanyuan Clan, the Ji Clan, the Jiang Clan, and other powers pledged funds.

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Mei warned the Primordial Dao Lord that the Fallen Commander might reinforce the Eastern Dawn battlefield, then persuaded him to remain in Nanye and help exploit divisions within the Devil Race. In Luojing, Wang Fugui arranged fair construction work and lucrative herb contracts to help the struggling Tianwei Wang Clan, leaving its members with renewed hope and gratitude.

• Ancestor Chenfeng realized the Divine Martial Wang Clan was helping his family preserve its dignity and finances, and he accepted the offer with gratitude.

Wang Shouzhe and the Primordial Dao Lord seized a Purple Cloud Dao Sect vessel and disguised themselves as its passengers to reach the Black Market auction in Formless Demon City. There, the injured Lunar Nether Soul Tree ran out of Chaos Essence and demanded to know why Plum-Breaker had not returned with the Origin of Life.

Meanwhile, the Bliss Cult Master learned that Wang Ming would return with six hundred Chaos Spirit Stones and began plotting to ambush her, unaware of Wang Shouzhe’s plans against her.
